While I never met Bob, we conversed on the telephone and by email for several years. He had found our websites, PERYHS.org and MountLowe.org and wanted to know about the museum we are putting together in Pasadena. He donated his photography and photograph collection of Southern California traction, the Pacific Electric Railway, Los Angeles Railway, Los Angeles Transit Authority, etc. He was thrilled we are preserving our railroad heritage and just yesterday we received two binders of fare...

November 5, 2019, we just learned of Bob's passing. We knew him through Crossroads Christian Fellowship. We always greeted Bob with a warm handshake, asking about his health & family.
We will surely miss his presence & that sparkle in his eyes as we talked about our interests.
Blessings,
Will & Karen Winn

I was a Corona Boy, as was Bob, interested in railroad and Corona history that we shared with each other.

It was ironic that I had a planned tour last Saturday of the Corona Historical Society that is located on the site of the Citrus Ranch headquarters where he was raised.

It was an emotional visit to the homestead for sure.
